Chapter 353: Historical Orientation (Part II)

Looking at Stalin with a smile on his face, Zhang Xuewu felt a chill! Because the Soviet army, which was seriously injured by the Great Purge in history, soon lost face in the Soviet-Finnish war in 1939, it took four months for the million-strong Soviet Red Army to force Finland, with a population of three million, to submit to the armistice, and the Red Army suffered more than 500,000 casualties.

If it really leads to the defeat of the Soviet Union, then the German-Japanese alliance will also sweep across the Middle East, and the world pattern will suddenly change so much that the United States will still be impatient to enter the war? Zhang Xuewu was also a little hesitant at this moment, because the purpose of this was to weaken the Soviet Union to a certain extent, and then he was desperate to give himself a fatal blow from behind! Let the Soviet Union be forced to make concessions and return Chinese territory, if the polar bear, which has always had a habit of land, is not extremely weak, I believe that it will not give up what has been eaten to the mouth and chewed, so Zhang Xuewu gave the Soviets Land Cruiser and strategic missile related plans, so that the Soviet Union's huge national strength is consumed in a place that lacks practical application.

Before the war, the Soviet army had seven times more soldiers and artillery than the German army, five times as many combat aircraft, and four times as many tanks, but in the first year and a half of the war, the Soviet army lost 11 million troops, and in the war, the Soviet Union lost one-seventh of its population and two-fifths of its country.

Even the KKVD itself, which was an instrument of the purge, was not spared, and its members were constantly renewed to maintain loyalty to the leader or to be scapegoated, and Agoda, who led the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the early days of the purge, was replaced in September 1936 by the more ruthless Yezhov because he could not meet Stalin's demands, and was soon arrested and executed in 1938. Yezhov, who had pushed the purge to the maximum, was replaced by Beria in July 1938 and executed on April 1, 1940, on charges of baseless repression of the Soviet people.

While Zhang Xuewu was thinking wildly, a Red Army general and a lieutenant general walked into the banquet hall, except for Kirov, these two seemed to be the only Soviet generals tonight!

Stalin kindly took this Xuewu hand and introduced him: "This is General Vlasov, this is Lieutenant General Zhukov, both are the defenders of our great Soviet!" And you, my dear friend, you are the guardian of the ancient kingdom of the East, against the evil imperialism of Ben. ”

Vlasov? Zhang Xuewu looked at this Soviet general with a thin and scorched face in surprise? It can be said that Vlasov is the only remaining general after the Soviet army fought and rebelled! If Vlasov is not outstanding in life, he will not believe it if he kills Zhang Xuewu.

However, Vlasov has always been a very controversial figure in the history of the Soviet Union, this person was a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1930, served as a military adviser to help the Chinese Nationalist axe train the army, won the Order of Lenin and the Order of the Red Banner in the Great Patriotic War, he was deeply valued by Stalin for his great exploits in the defense of Moscow, but on June 25, 1942, Vlasov was captured, and he quickly proposed to cooperate with Germany, hoping to form a Russian Liberation Army from the prisoner of war camps and eliminate Soviet power side by side with Germany, Eventually, a free Russia friendly to Germany was established.

At the time of Vlasov's treason, the Soviet Union was in its most difficult moment, the experienced Red Army units had been depleted, the recruits were sent to the front in droves, massacres were slaughtered to death or entered German prisoner of war camps, and almost every straw that could be used in the rear had been sent to the front. Could it be that the main enemies of the Russian nation were not Bolshevism and Stalin? Isn't it the primary sacred duty of every Russian to rise up against Stalin and his associates?

In fact, it is difficult to imagine that the Soviet Union would have been able to drag down Nazi Germany's blitzkrieg without the vast depth of its territory, without the guarantee of up to 40 million serviceable reserves, and without the huge material assistance of the Allies. The victory of the Soviet Union over Germany was the final victory of the system in which women and children were able to build fortifications and factories in the icy wilderness when they had only one potato to eat, and the system in which Germanic women were supposed to produce and educate their outstanding offspring exclusively at home.

When Hitler launched the war of aggression against the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, he declared that if I kicked the door of the broken house of the Soviet Union, it would collapse. Because Hitler believed that the Soviet army, which had been greatly damaged by the Great Purge, was vulnerable, he believed that the Soviet Union, which had experienced the Great Purge, had long since lost its morale. Hitler's judgment was correct to a certain extent, in World War II, in the absence of a puppet regime, the only Soviet Union appeared on the side of the Soviet Union, and the captured high-ranking generals took the initiative to organize troops from the prisoners of war to help the aggressor! In the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, the German army had nearly 200 Russians at its peak, and there were 140 regimental combat units dedicated to encircling and suppressing partisans, and the number of Soviet mutineers and civilians volunteering to serve the German army was as high as 2 million at its peak.

However, Nazi Germany's discriminatory policy against Russians allowed non-Russian combat units to form larger combat units, such as the Kalmyks forming the Readi cavalry corps, and the Ukrainians forming puppet armies that participated in attacks on the Soviets in addition to policing and guarding concentration camps. Vadutin, an outstanding general of the Soviet Army on a par with Zhukov and commander of the First Ukrainian Front, was killed by the attack of the Ukrainian puppet army.

It is precisely when he sees this that he will unscrupulously prepare to make trouble in Nomenkan, but his ambition is not proportional to his ability, and it is too easy for him to annex the three eastern provinces, so he always thinks about how he can fight without blood? It is a classic example of a typical thief who wants to eat meat but does not want to be beaten.

Therefore, he himself was hit head-on by the Soviets, and it can be said that at a certain stage, the Soviets were indeed more afraid of the landing of war than he was! Because the Soviets did not want the German wolf to discover his weak underbelly.
